Via Citizen Report: ATTENTION-ACUSD Parents and Residents

I have been notified that there will be a ACUSD board meeting tomorrow night (2/27) at the Amador county administration building with the public period beginning at 6:30pm. The admin. building is located at 810 Court Street in Jackson. From what I've been told, there will be three options presented, the 2 previously mentioned are still on the table, but I was told last night that an "option 3" is now being proposed which would consist of NOT implementing any changes at this time. It would seek to create some community groups/committees to brainstorm feasible cost saving options with a decision to be made in the next 6-12 months. I am supporting option 3 in order to allow more time for gathering crucial student and financial data, consult with all county parents, and come up with some options that will not have such a negative effect on so many families.

If you would like your voice to be heard on this issue please plan on attending tomorrow night's meeting.

Thank you and Sincerely,

Joel Mottishaw

the cost is $10 per workshop.

February 25th9:00 AM - noon / True Beginner's Microsoft Word    We will start with basic computer and keyboard instruction and then introduce the Microsoft Word program (2007-2010).  The majority of this class will be on the "Home" tab (the "Page Layout" tab will be introduced.)  Don't take this class if you're already using the program as we are determined to move as slowly as needed to get true beginners comfortable with the layout of the program and the primary tools.  You can take this course with or without your laptop; I will have tables, chairs, and power cords for you to use.  The Senior Center does not have a computer lab. 

February 25th1:00 - 4:00 PM / Microsoft Excel    An introductory course on Microsoft Excel (2007-2010) but computer confidence is a definite plus!  We will discuss the "Home"tab in detail and then introduce the "Page Layout" tab, "Formula" tab, and spend the last hour on charts and graphs.  We will only introduce math functions and offer one exercise to augment that explanation--we will not cover advance bookkeeping techniques!  This is a hands-on class and requires participants to bring their laptop to the course.  Topics will be introduced and then the group will work on an exercise; facilitator will help with questions and troubleshooting. 

On March 25th, Advanced Beginner Microsoft Word in the morning and Adobe Photoshop in the afternoon
April 22 will be the last two classes offered by this instructor! 

Sorry, can't take drop in participants ... you must pre-register!
Thanks!

Via Citizen Report: Open Meeting at Ione Elementary School - Thurs Feb 21

VIA CITIZEN REPORT: OPEN MEETING meeting tomorrow at 5:30 at the Ione Elementary School in which the District Superintendent plans to present two options-- The first is to bus all 6th graders in the county to Jackson Jr High and all 7th & 8th graders to Ione Jr High. The other option is to leave the schools as they currently are, with the exception of the 6th graders in Ione and Jackson. They would be rotated into the 7th & 8 th grade rotation, instead of in stand alone classes. All of the info is located in the district website.
www.amadorcoe.org/2013-14staffing.presentation.pdf

Ione parents received a letter last night, but I do not know if the rest of the schools got one. If the district goes with option 1, it will affect all schools in the county.
